4 Stray Paws Ltd

4 Stray Paws Ltd We are a foster based nonprofit animal rescue dedicated to helping animals in need. Thank you for following us and all the support. We hope to make a difference.

4 Stray Paws Rescue (formerly Joliet Community Strays) was created to help the feral cats in our area. We are noticing the issue has become more extreme since covid so we wanted to step up and help these cats get the medical treatment they deserve. This includes Spay/Neuter, vaccinations, microchips, and any medical issues that need to be addressed. We are working closely with Dr. Adam at Essingto

n Road Animal Hospital and the staff to treat these cats. However, it does come at an expense, so I am reaching out to the Joliet community for help with donations. We are a licensed 501c3 rescue organization.

🐾💚 **THREE BROTHERS. THREE BIG PERSONALITIES. ONE DREAM: A FOREVER HOME.** 💚🐾

Meet **Yoshi, Luigi & Mario** — three adorable brothers who have been **overlooked time and time again**, and honestly, we just don't understand how. 💔🐾

They each have their own special personality, but all three share the same beautiful heart: they want to be loved, they want to feel safe, and they want a family they can finally call their own. 🏡❤️

✨ **YOSHI** ✨
Our sweet tiger-striped boy is the gentle soul of the group. Yoshi can be a little shy when you first meet him, but give him some **time, patience, and love**, and you'll see his affectionate side bloom. 🌱🐾

Once he trusts you, Yoshi loves gentle pets, quiet companionship, and simply being near the people he feels safe with. He has so much love waiting inside that sweet little heart. 💚

✨ **LUIGI** ✨
This handsome black kitten is the perfect combination of **playful and cuddly**! 🖤🐾 Luigi may need a little time to warm up, but once his curiosity takes over, he's ready to play, explore, chase toys, and make friends.

He's got a fun-loving personality and a gentle, affectionate side that comes shining through once he feels comfortable. Give Luigi the chance to know you're his person, and you'll have a wonderful companion for life. 🥰

✨ **MARIO** ✨
Mario is the **adventure buddy, professional toy hunter, and cuddle companion** all rolled into one! 🧸🐾💙

This boy has a BIG personality and an even bigger heart. He loves chasing toys, climbing, exploring, wrestling with his kitten friends, and investigating absolutely everything.

And when those kitten zoomies finally wear him out? Mario is more than happy to curl up beside his person for some well-earned cuddles and gentle pets. 😴❤️

💔 **BUT HERE'S THE PART THAT BREAKS OUR HEARTS...**

These boys have been **overlooked multiple times.**

People keep passing them by, and we can't help but wonder what they're missing.

Because behind those beautiful eyes are three little souls who are simply waiting for someone to say:

**"You're the ones. Come home."** 🏡💚

They don't need a perfect family.

They don't need someone to expect them to instantly become confident.

They need someone who will see their individual personalities, give them time to settle in, and allow them to blossom into the amazing cats they're meant to be. 🌱🐾

And wouldn't it be incredible if these brothers could find their forever homes **together**? 🥹❤️

They've grown up with each other, and there is something incredibly special about giving bonded siblings the chance to continue their lives side by side. If adopting all three isn't possible, please still reach out — **the most important thing is finding each of these boys the loving forever home they deserve.**

Yoshi needs someone patient enough to earn his trust. 💚
Luigi needs someone ready for playtime and cuddles. 🖤
Mario needs someone who will keep up with his adventurous spirit. 💙

But ALL THREE need the same thing:

**Someone who won't overlook them anymore.** 🐾

Someone who will look at these three brothers and see **family.** ❤️

🏡 **Could YOU be the forever family they've been waiting for?**

Please share this post. 🙏 A share could put Yoshi, Luigi, or Mario in front of the person who has been looking for them all along.

🐾 **Three brothers. Three beautiful personalities. Three lives waiting to begin.**

**Let's get these boys HOME.** 🏡❤️🐾

Our kitten season isn’t slowing down, and we’re reaching the point where space, not willingness, is becoming our biggest challenge.

Right now, we have multiple litters of kittens in foster care. For their health and safety, they can’t all be housed together. Young kittens need to be kept separated until they’re old enough, healthy enough, and properly vetted. That means every new litter requires its own safe space.

We’re hoping to purchase a large cat enclosure that will allow us to safely house more kittens while keeping them separated when needed. It will help us save more lives without compromising their care.

If you’d like to help, you can:

🐾 Purchase the enclosure directly from our wish list, or

❤️ Make a donation through the Facebook Donate button on this post to help us purchase it.

Every dollar brings us one step closer to saying “yes” to the next kitten who needs us.

Thank you for helping us give these tiny lives the safe start they deserve. We truly couldn’t do this without you. 🐱💕

⭐️ FOSTER NEEDED ⭐️

❤️Meet Scratch, Flo (F), and Jet (M). ❤️

Scratch came to us from a feral cat colony desperately needing help for a severe infection on her face. When she first arrived, she wanted nothing to do with us and made it very clear she thought we should leave her alone. Over time, that scared, semi-feral girl has blossomed into a sweet, gentle, and affectionate mama.

What we didn't know when she came into our care was that Scratch was pregnant! Needless to say, we were all surprised when we figured it out.

Scratch has turned out to be a **wonderful mom**. Not only has she lovingly cared for her own kitten, but she also welcomed an orphaned kitten as one of her own. Because she was nursing, we had to pause the medication she needed to treat the infection on her face. Now that the kittens are older, she's finally been able to restart her treatment, and we're hopeful she'll make a full recovery.

Now this little family is ready for the next step—they're looking for a loving foster home where Scratch can continue healing while her babies grow in a safe, comfortable environment.

**Foster Information:**
• Scratch has is up to date on vaccines.
• Both kittens are up to date on all age-appropriate veterinary care.
• **All medical care is covered by the rescue.**
• All they need is a safe, loving foster home.

If you're willing to open your home to Scratch and her two little ones, we'd love to hear from you! Even if you can't foster, sharing this post could help this deserving little family find the perfect temporary home. ❤️🐾

👑🐾 MEET PRINCESS PEACH! 🐾👑

Tiny princess. BIG personality.
